I received a text from xh saying that he's emotionally exhausted and doesn't want to talk anymore today. He also said it's not my fault, but he's feeling a lot of anxiety and is on heavy meds for his back. I replied that I too needed a break and that I was available another day. I also stated that I understood about the anxiety and I also experience that when we communicate. I ended by saying take good care of yourself.
Today was the first real conversation we've had in a very long time. I thought we both handled ourselves well and I'm glad we ended it before either of felt overwhelmed. We'll see.
